For those who dislike mimes and clowns, let me recommend Torpedo Juice, by Tim Dorsey. As one of his subplots, he has timid underachiever clowns and mimes forming mobs, doing battle between themselves and others.

You perhaps need a special sense of humor for Dorsey's work, or live in Florida of which he writes with uncanny verisimilitude!

Interesting. I've only ever known it as the film that featured the Yardbirds playing "Stroll On" (aka "Train Kept A-Rollin'" with different lyrics). The style of that clip reminds me somewhat of Harold & Maude, Ann...

The point seems to be even mimes are noisy when they're over stuffed into a jeep but get real quiet when they enter their pretend world. And that there was nothing a photographer considered worth the trouble of taking a picture.
